As long as the veg is not cooked and is raw frozen (but defrosted), yes they can eat it. If it is cooked it becomes too mushy for them to be able to eat properly and can also get stuck in their pouches and cause infection if they try to store it, as hamsters do
Hard raw veg is also good for their teeth as it helps wear them down to prevent overgrown teeth..
The veg needs to be thawed to room temperature before your feed them to hammy. Try not to give it straight from the fridge either as cold food could upset their tummy.
Fresh would be better though (in small portions - remember the size of lil' hammy's tummy) as they contain more vitamins than frozen ones.

no, you couldnt do that cause one thing hamster loves to eaten soft and cook foods so that they can chew and swallow their foods safer way . if you do gave them frozen foods they will have hard time by useing their teeths to bite into the foods and they can cause tooth ach or the pices can choked them or even stuck into their throats .

Not good to even try, you will make them ill or even kill them. Get fresh carrots, does them good and keeps their teeth trimmed.
